Team SoloMid (TSM) is an esports organization, not a traditional technology company, focused on competitive gaming, content creation, and managing professional teams and streamers across games like League of Legends, first-person shooters, battle royales, and strategy titles.[1][3][6] It engages fans through tournaments, branded merchandise, training programs, and community platforms, with headquarters in Los Angeles, California, and has raised $37M in funding while operating a 25,000 sq ft performance facility equipped with advanced training tech.[1][5] Formerly SoloMid Corporation, TSM holds records like North America's most League of Legends championships and emphasizes performance, innovation, and content.[4][5][6]
Founded in 2009 by brothers Andy "Reginald" Dinh and a co-founder around the community website SoloMid.Net, TSM started as a hub for gaming content like ProBuilds for titles including League of Legends, Hearthstone, Overwatch, and PUBG.[3][6] It evolved from a website into a full esports powerhouse, managing pro teams and expanding into facilities and global competitions, rebranding from Team SoloMid while basing operations in Los Angeles.[1][3][5] Key pivots included building North America's top League of Legends squad and investing in infrastructure like the 2020s-era Performance Center.[4][5]

TSM rides the explosive growth of esports, a sector blending gaming, tech hardware, streaming, and digital content, positioning it at the intersection of entertainment and technology in North America's "ground zero" market.[1][4][5] Timing aligns with esports' mainstream surge via platforms like Twitch and mobile gaming, amplified by AI-driven training tools and 5G for immersive experiences, while market forces like sponsorships and fan monetization fuel expansion.[1][5] It influences the ecosystem by developing talent, setting performance standards through tech-equipped facilities, and enhancing digital fan experiences, paving the way for esports' integration into broader tech trends like VR/AR and metaverses.[4][5][6]
TSM's influence will grow with esports' projected billions in revenue, driven by global tournaments, Web3 integrations, and AI analytics for scouting/training, potentially expanding into new titles and international rosters.[1][5] Upcoming trends like immersive streaming and performance tech could solidify its North American lead, evolving from competition to a full tech-entertainment hybrid. As esports blurs lines with traditional sports and tech, TSM remains a pioneer managing pros and fans in a high-stakes digital arena.[4][6]
